David is particularly bouncy this morning. He did sleep good last night with no nightmares for the first time in over a week, so that probaby has something to do with it. Starting the morning with physical fitness. Then math, and if the truck is done at the shop, a social outing this afternoon. He has really been pushing to seek attention this morning. Not sure what that is all about. Tweet #fighting4answrs

since we have to file this Services Plan, I have been asking for guidance in how to write it. everyone quotes the state law to me, but know one gives a clear guideline as to contents. “it should be similar to the IEP”…. great… is there a form for that? The state tells me I should get guidance from the school, the school says call the state. I am so frustrated. let’s see if we can accomplish something with this today. Tweet #fighting4answrs

So earlier today, I asked the superintendent and two other people from outside the district what language and information the Service Plan requires. The Superintendent told me to ask my wife. (my wife is a special education teacher who has never seen a service plan for an IEP that is not academic in nature. Our son’s is for behaviors related to his severe ADHD and Pediatric Bipolar.) The staffer at our state Department of Public Instruction told me to ask the superintendent. The staffer from our state Pathfinder group told me that it is something that the superintendent and staff from the school should help us write, and gave me the number for a different individual within the Department of Public Instruction to ask. So frustrated. My wife says that we don’t need one. The Superintendent says that we do. Friday is the last day of school for this
